True. Shedding parts at high speed is a sign of old age. But at least you can go that fast! On a lighter note, last time I went off the road in the RadioFlyer, it was 80 mph off into the highway median around Grantham, NH. I had been trying to catch a spider during the whole trip home from Nantucket Island. Finally, at 1am, it came down right in my face. I grabbed it, hit the window switch, and threw it out. When I looked up, I was 3ft in the air about to nose-dive into the middle of the median. After plowing through two signs, a quarter mile of median grassland, and completely clearing an 8-ft wide drainage ditch, I came to a stop. To my great surprise, no damage at all! I drove it home, had it inspected, and only had to replace a bad motor mount that was probably about to go anyway. Luckily, (it was an SPG), I had all the SPG side skirts and bumper off for repainting, no fog lights, crummy winter wheels, so onlymy crappy spare bumper was actually damaged. Moral of the story: If you are going to go fast, take off all the shed-able parts first. ;)
